10 Top-Rated Travel Umbrellas to Help You Weather Any Storm

Whether it's sprinkling or sleeting, you don't want to be caught out in the rain with a broken umbrella that's barely stretched on its last spoke. Bargain-bin brollies these are not — we've checked the ratings and reviews to ensure general user satisfaction for each of these 10 top-rated travel umbrellas.

One to carry in your bag at all times, the Rain-Mate travel umbrella is a crowd-favorite for its automatic open/close function and sturdy (if slightly weighty) build. Its large 42-inch canopy and nine reinforced fiberglass spokes are backed with a lifetime warranty from the brand — something you're not likely to get from the cheapies sold at the local drugstore.

A one-button open/close function and nine reinforced fiberglass ribs make this the perfect umbrella to have on hand in the event of a sudden downpour. Its construction is lightweight yet durable, and the Teflon canopy is moisture-wicking, drying nearly instantly.

For those who need the lightest model possible for constant transport, this 7-ounce pick is both reliable and resilient — its slim fiberglass frame is extremely durable, even in inclement weather. The canopy is both quick-drying and treated with UV protectant, so it's great for keeping users shielded from the elements, come rain or shine.

Far more aerodynamic than your standard brolly, the EEZ-Y is equipped with a double canopy to allow air to flow through, reducing the risk of breakage. With a lightweight frame made from fiberglass and stainless steel, it won't rust with exposure to moisture, and the water-resistant fabric allows it to dry super quickly, so you're not fussing with a damp umbrella after the skies clear up.

With over 2K reviews and a 4.5-star rating, the Crown Coast is a clear crowd-favorite. Not only is it compact, but it has a flexible frame that stands up to intense gusts of wind. We do advise that you watch out for passersby before you use it because it springs open quite forcefully.

You'll get a wind-tunnel-tested, aerodynamic design with rounded edges to prevent you from poking passersby. The Blunt XS Metro umbrella was made for withstanding brutal winds, and the compact design lets you keep it in your bag in the event that a surprise rainstorm rolls in.

An impressively sturdy umbrella that opens and closes with the push of a button, folks who reside in gusty cities will want to make sure they have this pick on hand. The hexagonal ribs of hardened steel are designed not to blow out when the winds suddenly pick up.

A contoured grip, a steel-and-carbon-fiber frame, and push-button accessibility are all in one elegant package. The silk-woven pongee canopy is sleek and engineered to be windproof, and when folded up, the compact unit even has a safety lock that prevents the umbrella from bursting open.

A strong, reinforced frame and an eight-panel double canopy keeps this umbrella from getting mangled by strong winds. Moisture slides off the polyester material, so it's good for stashing back in your bag, should the sun come out midday.
